Primary Development Programme

Relationships Education and Health Education is now statutory in all primary schools. Best practice evidence states that work in these areas should be delivered as part of a comprehensive PSHE programme. Purchasing a license for the Primary Personal Development programme will enable you to ensure that your provision is up to date and sets the new subject areas in the broader context of PSHE.

The Cambridgeshire Primary Personal Development Programme provides primary schools with all the resources needed to deliver a comprehensive PSHE curriculum from EYFS to year 6. It enables schools to review their current practice in PSHE and Citizenship and develop long term plans. Teachers can also access guidance on a range of teaching methodologies. The programme includes toolkits with up to date materials for reviewing and developing a range of policies and whole school practice.

For further information about the programme, including sample materials and an order form, please see www.pshecambridgeshire.org.uk/

The PDP includes:

Wellbeing Frameworks that give a detailed, progressive overview of the entitlement for children’s personal development from 4 through to 11, consistent with all national guidance.

A complete Unit of Work for each cell in the Wellbeing Frameworks - 56 units and 12 enrichment units. Each unit contains all that teachers need to deliver high quality, progressive learning.
